Newcastle United have put a price tag in excess of £150m on Alexander Isak to ward off interest from the likes of Chelsea, ARSENAL and Tottenham, according to The Sunday Telegraph.
Newcastle signed Isak for £63m in the summer of 2022 from Spanish side Real Sociedad and he has four years left on his contract, and Isak is now regarded as one of the best strikers in the Premier League and a forward that all the big clubs have been linked with over the past 12 months, but that £110M asking price has been a real problem for the chasing clubs.
It has been claimed that Chelsea, ARSENAL and Tottenham could make a move in the January window and were reportedly ready to make an offer of £60-80 million in order to tempt Newcastle into getting a transfer deal done.
Isak has subsequently scored 11 goals in 16 Premier League appearances this season and is rediscovering his best form, having scored four of those in his last two matches, and Newcastle now want a whopping £150 million before they will allow the striker to leave the club.
Eddie Howe recently said Newcastle have no plans to sell the 25-year-old after his hat-trick in the 4-0 win at Ipswich earlier in December.
“There is no part of me or anyone at Newcastle that wants to let Alex go,” Howe said. “He’s part of our long-term plans. Personally, I don’t see that being an issue,” he said of potential interest in the January window.’

Isak is quality, he is a striker that is destined to play for one of the big teams in Europe, whether it is the Premier League, Spain or Italy, he will get that big move.
However -£150 million is crazy money and nobody will want to pay that, so it may be that clubs wait for Isak’s contract to run down over the next few seasons and then make a move, he is still only young and has plenty of time before making that big move
